The reality of mixing ink.

Some home and office printers have ink or toner which does manage to
look grey (or black) when mixed like that.

Notably, though, the ink used by offset presses does not.

The typical comparison is that c=m=y looks like mud on such a press.

(And for the same reason that earth or mud look brown, in fact.)
